HEY padres!This week was a great one! We had a lot of success finding people to teach and even helping members when they are in need!When I was sick and very discouraged the other week I about had it and said, “I AM GOING CONTACTING!” That day I found this hombre and he said he would love to talk to us so we set an appointment. So we went there this week and we taught him. We started with a prayer and I said it! The dude repeated everything I said — haha — It was so funny. After that we taught him how to pray. He said that he was waiting for something to help his family and he thinks this is it. That felt so good!

On Friday we had an activity for all of the new missionaries! I saw Mi Hermano, my companion from the MTC, Elder Andriese! I missed that kid so much and he made me feel so much better. He is doing so good and it was great to talk with him! I hope we can be companions again in the field! We would be the best companions.

Thanksgiving was awesome! A family served me turkey! It was so good! We had mashed potatoes and corn and GRAVY! I really missed my Cowboys and then I found out that ROMO is hurt! I really hope he is not out for the rest of his career because I want to see him play again. LOVE the Cowboys - I wear my Dez shirt here with pride.

So I sat and thought about what I was grateful for. I thought about family and what WE had and these people didn’t. Then I thought about the Plan of Salvation and how we have this knowledge. What a blessing it is! I thought about Janette a lot this week and how much of a blessing it was to have her as an aunt and how thankful we are that we can see her again. I thought about the examples in my life; like my friends, and dad for helping me serve a mission! I also thought about the day Kaden Obray gave his farewell talk and I’m serious, HE was the one that helped me WANT to serve a mission! I will always thank him for that!

THANK YOU FOR THE PACKAGE! I love Mtn Dew and Skittles! One exploded sooooo…everything was sticky! But its ok - I LOVED it!

I love you guys with all my heart and I miss you! I hope you guys are doing great! Thank you keeping me updated on everything with family, sports and just stuff going on in Brigham City!
